    Hi All. I am looking to replace my heater core in my 2012 Prius v because it has become clogged. I have scoured online to find a comprehensive service manual that is specific for the heater core, but I have not found anything. Any help or information would be appreciated!

    Have you flushed it out with a garden hose both ways? Have you put stop leak in it? Very rare for one to be plugged...

    Thanks for the responses! That is going to be my next step. The person who I bought it from put stop leak in the coolant system to seal a leaky head gasket, but it instead clogged my heater core and radiator. I already replaced the radiator and the head gasket.
